INDICTMENTS

     So Scooter Libby has been indicted on 5 counts for “lying” to a Grand Jury. Makes me think of the days of Bill Clinton when he faced the same Grand Jury charges over his dalliances in the White House (or was it as Governor?). It's ironic that in Scooter's case it still hasn't been found that a crime was committed in the whole CIA affair. The Democrats are having a field day over this “scandal”, but  some comparisons are easy to make. It appears that the leftwingers regard Clinton's troubles as being in the same category as jaywalking tickets or ripping off a vending machine  –  and the same might be said for Ted Kennedy's fatal affair at Chappaquiddick   –  just a ho-hum auto accident. But Scooter??  That's a different matter altogether.

     From the public pronouncements of Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy, Harry Reid and others, Scooter will go down in history with Benedict Arnold, John Wilkes Boot, Lee Harvey Oswald and Sirhan Sirhan. Scooter will rank high among the miscreants of the last 3 centuries. The fact is that there is great doubt that he will ever be convicted of anything. But let the Ds have their fun  — while they can.

    Now it is Supreme Court time again, and just maybe the long awaited showdown in the Senate is imminent. The Ds will try to destroy Sam Alito, but he is likely to be a very tough customer. Who knows, they may long for the good old days of Harriet Meirs.
